win the hairpin

Chapter 168

Yue Huaiyu is a dignified person, except for a little fight with the family on the marriage, which made her mother mad, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Now that she heard Zhang Xutang's sage talk, her face flushed immediately, and she put on an impeccable smile.

"No reason!"

With a straight face, she suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and looked at the already excellent housekeeper lady: "Second Master, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. As for marriage, I naturally obey my parents' orders. King Jin, I don't have that rich head, I can't wear such a heavy phoenix crown, if I talk about love, I can't talk about love with anyone, including you."

She was terrified of Zhang Xutang at first, but this articulate and angry rebuke relieved her fear a lot.

Zhang Xutang sneered at her high-sounding words, and still smiled strangely: "So, are you willing to marry me?"

Yue Huaiyu sneered: "You don't have to test me, my heart is like a mirror, if I don't marry you, I'm afraid I will have to die."

At the same time, she said in her heart: "If your Zhang family loses power and King Yan cannot be the crown prince, then I will have a way out."

Zhang Xutang's eyes were still staring at her, as if he could hear what she was thinking: "Could it be that when you were in Tanzhou, didn't you play tricks and let King Jin come to your door so that our two families could dissolve the marriage? It's just that you didn't realize it at that time, the two of us must get married."

The blood on Yue Huaiyu's face faded quickly, and her voice changed tone: "You are talking nonsense! You still talk about evidence in the case, how can you slander me with lies! If you don't want to marry me, go tell my parents!"

At this time, the two entered the glass room one after the other.

Inside the glass room is a splendid world filled with radiance and colors. Everywhere the eyes touch, they are filled with colorful colors, making people lose their way.

Lao Wei put Zhang Xutang in the rose chair, he smiled slightly under the color of the glass, and said to Yue Huaiyu, "Stub mouth, I don't like it."

The bright light shone on Zhang Xutang, adding many colors to his pale face, making Yue Huaiyu take a step back.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Zhang Xutang wanted to kill her and bury her under the glass house, but he still restrained his impulse.

"I want to give you a chance."

Yue Huaiyu had no clue: "Opportunity?"

"I'll give you a chance not to marry me," Zhang Xutang opened his mouth, and said two words softly, "Divorce."

"Divorce?" Yue Huaiyu felt that every word he said today was full of doubts.

On the other hand, Zhang Xutang nodded affirmatively, and he was certain of winning what he planned.

When his enemies wanted to make a move, he let them make a move, and the Zhang family retreated. He wanted to see how many tricks they could use, and when they were at the end of their skills, it was time for him to show his skills.

When Zhang Xutang and Yue Huaiyu looked at the glass room, Li Lin, who was worried, finally saw Zhang Rui who was returning home from the capital hall.

In the small hut of Zhang’s house, there is a couplet on the outside that reads “The heart is safe and the body is safe, and the body is safe and the room is wide.” Inside, books are piled up like a mountain. On the wall is a picture of wild cranes drawn by Zhang Rui himself. There is an old white plum in the red porcelain vase of Ding Kiln, and "Spring Letter in Snow" is burning in the golden incense burner on the table. Although the house is not big, it is very elegant.

"Master Xiang!" Li Lin bowed his head and bowed.

Zhang Rui helped him up, took his hand and sat him down: "Don't panic, kid."

His tone was gentle, which made the anxious Li Lin calm down: "The lower official is getting impatient. I really don't know what to do just now. I feel hesitant. Don't blame the Prime Minister."

Zhang Rui sat down, waved his hands, and said in a vicissitudes tone: "It's right to be hesitant, and a guilty person can't be confident. You, Deputy Envoy Yantie, are guilty, and so am I. I lost more than [-] lives."

Li Lin was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

His loyalty to the Zhang family had already been confessed ten years ago. In the past ten years, he had done many things for the Zhang family and King Yan, and he had never heard Mr. Zhang say the word "guilty" for any serious matter.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhang didn't let him take the conversation, but continued on his own: "It's not a matter of being guilty. This old man is already full of sins. He can stand in the court and call the wind and rain. Who is innocent? It’s just that this time is different from the past, boy, we have to step back and avoid the edge.”

Li Lin soon understood that the Zhang family was going to let King Jin stand out.

This is the way of checks and balances that today is willing to see, but it is not what they want to see.

His tone couldn't help becoming agitated: "Master Xiang! I've bowed ninety-nine times, and this is the only difference. Why don't you charge forward, but retreat!"

Zhang Rui stood up and poured him a cup of tea himself: "Don't be in a hurry, seeking the country is a matter that affects the whole body, what's the hurry, don't tell me the old man won't live that long?"

As early as Zhang Rui stood up to pour tea, Li Lin also stood up, held the teacup in fear, and said in a low voice: "I don't mean that, since I want to retire, I just obey the order, but this I would like to ask the Prime Minister to enlighten me on how to deal with the matter of returning to the Zezhou mill."

"I said, you just do it?" Zhang Rui put down the teapot.

Li Lin nodded: "Yes, all the officials listen to the Prime Minister."

Zhang Rui smiled, sat down and said slowly: "The king of Jin is in Zezhou, and he still has a backhand. The backhand must be coming for the salt and iron, and you bear the brunt."

Li Lin nodded, he was so anxious just thinking of this.

King Jin could endure for ten years and planned to return to the capital. His mind was not simple. If he made up his mind to pull him off his horse, he might not be able to resist.

Zhang Rui looked at him with heavy eyes, so that his soul could not get up.

"You go to Jinshang right now to plead guilty, tell Jinshang that the factory exploded, the judge and others deceived you, and you are unforgivably guilty. You are willing to resign from your post. Please punish Jinshang."

Li Lin agreed.

He is also planning to retreat to advance.

"After pleading guilty, no matter what King Jin's plan is, you don't need to justify. Your enemies will definitely seize the incident created by King Jin and attack you. Don't justify anything. Resign and retire for two years. You can't sit in this position. It’s better to give it up than it is.”

Li Lin's eyes straightened in horror: "Master Xiang!"

Zhang Rui smiled slightly: "Are you afraid?"

After a long time, Li Lin said: "I have been sitting in this position for ten years, and I have been seated firmly. I know everything about you. I think Dong Tongying is already an empty shell. I am determined to win it. As long as Dong Tongying Once you resign, the subordinates will be able to go up, but now you let the subordinates resign, the subordinates don't understand."

He knew he had to retreat, but he didn't know that he had to retreat so far.

"Dong Tongying is not as incompetent as you think," Zhang Rui told him patiently, "You push him up, and he also pulls you down. Think about Chen Zhigang, without Dong Tongying's help, how could he go to Hanlin Academy of Painting?"

Li Lin was still puzzled.

He has sat in this position for too long, long enough to think that he can call the wind and rain in this position. What is there to be afraid of the old man Dong Tongying, behind him is the Zhang family and King Yan.
